The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 654

[Chapter 654 Xin’anhou]

The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue actually knew in his heart that after the implementation of the unification of land and land, the taxes would definitely increase.

But he never thought it would increase so much.

“Your Majesty, this…”

Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: “Your Majesty, is this taking merit?”

After saying that, he also knew that something was not appropriate, so he hurriedly said: “Your Majesty, I am not doubting Xin Anbo. I know that Xin Anbo is a talented person and will never do such things to take advantage of his fame and fortune.

But Xin

Anbo understands that.

Uncle would not do such things, but it does not mean that the people of Linze Mansion will not do such things. Your Majesty, think about it if the tax revenue of Zhongyuan Road is so high,

then the whole world will be like this.

What should we do?

Aren’t the accumulated wealth of those gentry exceeding the national treasury?”

Emperor Chu looked at him and said coldly: “This is not possible

, Your Majesty .”

The Minister of the Ministry of Finance was slightly startled, not knowing what to do. What can I say?

Emperor Chu didn’t say anything because he knew in his heart that what Shangshu said was right!

After the implementation of Di Ding Unification, there was a certain increase in taxes. This was reasonable, but it was too much.

This made him have to doubt the moisture in it.

After all, if this is the case, then the imperial court has lost so much silver over the years, where have all those silver gone?

It can’t be that the world is full of rich people’s wine and meat, and the road is frozen to death, right?

However, at this time, Liu Cheng came up and bowed to report: “Your Majesty, the money collected from the land tax of Zhongyuan Dao this year has reached the city gate, enough for three hundred thousand taels.”

“Is this true?”

Chu The emperor was also confused to ask such a question.

Liu Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then replied: “I will never deceive Your Majesty. Your Majesty, even if you borrow the courage of a dozen slaves, I will never dare!”

“Okay, okay!”

Emperor Chu said again. After saying three words ‘good’, I was already extremely excited.

So, the letters that Fang Xiu sent him can no longer be true?

After Zhongyuan Tao implemented the combination of ground and Ding, the land tax actually increased three times! ?

This is too exaggerated!

But this is the fact, this is the benefit brought by the integration of earth and Ding. It can be seen and takes effect immediately!

With this, no matter how reluctant the gentry in the world are, no matter how opposed the ministers in the court are, the result will be the same!

The gap is three times that of how much silver the imperial court has lost over the years, and how much silver the gentry has taken away from the imperial court over the years! ?

He was now happy, angry, and annoyed at the same time.

I am happy that the results of Didingheyi are far beyond my imagination.

What makes me angry is that the gentry have been so greedy for so many years.

What makes me regretful is why I didn’t make this decision earlier and implement the strategy of integrating Di Ding into one.

“Gentlemen, what else do you have to say?”

After a while, Emperor Chu regained his emotions, looked at the ministers, and his tone softened a lot.

Several ministers looked at each other, and they could still see the shock in each other’s eyes.

Like the emperor, they still can’t believe that the effect of the unity of earth and Ding is so good?

Of course, no one will talk about taking credit anymore.

First of all, who is New Amber?

How much money can your Baolefang, Zhuxuanzhai, and Chunfeng Tower bring in?

How highly is he respected by His Majesty?

He doesn’t know how, or to be precise, he doesn’t even bother to do such a thing!

Secondly, the risk of taking credit is extremely high. If you are caught, you will inevitably be punished.

The most important thing is that the money has been transported to the capital. This letter may be fake, the words on the letter may be fake, the data may be fake, and the documents may be fake, but this real money and silver cannot be fake, right? ?

Therefore, even if they don’t believe it, they have to believe it at this moment.

And they bowed down one by one and said: “I am guilty! I am waiting for death!”

“You are all guilty indeed! If I hadn’t transferred Fang Xiu to the Central Plains Road, if Fang Xiu hadn’t fought against everyone’s opinions, he would have been in the Central Plains. The Tao has swept through those gentry, I am afraid that I have already believed in you!

Now the strategy of uniting the land and the people has long been gone. How can there be such achievements?”

“I am ashamed of myself. “

The four of them bowed down again.

They were indeed ashamed. They were all gentry, and their houses had hundreds of acres of fertile land. However, they had never thought that just one hundred acres of fertile land could make such a big difference in the court’s income!

You must know that they are not only gentry, but also elders and pillars.

When they reached their position, they no longer only thought about their hundred acres of fertile land, but the world, the court, and the people.

In short, they argued with the Emperor of Chu because of their ideals. Now they bow respectfully. Or because of the concept, they were convinced!

Not only do I obey the policy of uniting the land and Ding, but I also obey the new Amber!

A person like Linze Hou has been on the Central Plains Road for more than half a month without making any progress, but Xin Anbo has only been on the Central Plains Road for how many days?

This is already the case, he is really a talented person like Wang Zuo!

They are all important officials, and they are old. It is natural that Emperor Chu cannot let them kneel all the time.

After just a moment, he waved his hand and said: “I know that you are also for the imperial court. You are all pillars and my right-hand men. Without you, the imperial court will be in chaos.

I only hope that you will learn from this. The lessons of Xin Anbo should not be taken for granted. We must learn from Xin Anbo. What does Xin Anbo say in the book?

Does practice bring true knowledge? This is the truth. “

Everyone’s expressions became a little confused when they heard that His Majesty actually quoted Xin Anbo’s words. It was strange, but he still said respectfully: “I understand!”

“Okay, as long as you understand, please get up, the ground is cold.” Emperor Chu waved his hand.

Since the heating was installed in the Nuan Pavilion, even in the coldest time, it feels like spring here, no matter how cold it is.

However, several cabinet ministers were still moved and seemed to be about to shed tears: “Your Majesty is considerate of your ministers and ministers.”

Before they could speak, Emperor Chu interrupted him: “Okay, what I hate most is this kind of red tape. You all know that if this is the case, why are you acting like this? When you were arguing with me just now, I didn’t see you like this.”

“”

When the elders heard this, their expressions suddenly froze on their faces, neither crying nor laughing. , let alone expressionless. He didn’t know what to do for a moment and stood there in a daze.

However, Emperor Chu was too lazy to care about them anymore. He waved his hand and said in a high-spirited voice: “Come here, please make a decree. I want to make Xin’an Bo the Marquis of Xin’an!”
